    I'm eager. Can anyone share what the typical time is for the M11x to ship once it moves into production? Mine hit the production channel about 2 hours ago. I'll post the number of days in production along with the build when it ships, but I'm curious to know when that might be. How long did yours take?

    Ish, every order is different. Think of it this way... Each order has an inventory of parts. So they have to plan for the build (check inventory) vs all the other orders and retail demand. Then it actually has to be built. Then it goes through QC. Then prepped and shipped. Production can take up to 3 weeks or more. Sometimes it takes a week. I will give you my experience but I will say in CAPITAL LETTERS... THE BELOW RESULTS ARE NOT STANDARD. I ordered mine last week, Wednesday, base model with only ram upgrade. I received it today at 11 am. I am in the US.
    Good luck.. it is tough to be patient. I hope you like it when you get it. Worth the wait!
    Best Wishes,
    StevenX

    Mine shipped exactly one week after ordering. Then they bumped me up to next day business Saturday delivery and life was good. ;)

    It'll be anywhere between the "Wow, that was fast" to " Screw you Dell, going for a Clevo now" ;)

    My latest one was ordered n March 22, shipped April 1 and arrived this morning 12 business daysafter placing the order. The previous one I returned took about the same time from ordering to delivery...

    Ordered 30 March. Recieved 7 April at 13:00. it was very fast turnover for me, though i opted for next day shipping as it was perhaps 10 bucks more than standard for me. it was only 16 bucks - that is no where near as bad as that 80 dollar shipping for my m9750...

    Thanks everyone! I ordered a basic unit, so it sounds like it may be early as well. :)

    As is customary, +1 rep for all who responded. It may take me a few days to add it all, seems I can only give rep to 2 ppl per day.
